Critical judgements in applying accounting policies
Acquired software
The Commission has exercised judgment to
determine whether expenditure on configuring and
implementing a financial management information
system meets the criteria for recognition as an
intangible asset. This included an assessment of
whether the expenditure creates an item that can
be identified and separated from the Commission,
2
is under the control of the Commission, and will
provide future economic benefits or service potential.
Because the software is provided as a service by a
public service agency, and no binding arrangements
existed at the time of implementation, the criteria for
recognition as an intangible asset has not been met.
Accordingly, costs to configure the software have
been expensed.
Comparative information
When presentation or classification of items in
the financial statements is amended or accounting
policies are changed voluntarily, comparative figures
are restated to ensure consistency with the current
period unless it is impracticable to do so.
